[[File:Plum pudding atom.jpg|thumbnail|Model consists of a positively charged "pudding" containing negatively charged "plums" (electrons) randomly distributed throughout the atom.]]
The '''Plum Pudding''' model of the atom was an early [[atom|atomic]] theory proposed in 1904 by JJ Thomson, also called '''Thomson's Model'''.<ref>https://www.boundless.com/physics/textbooks/boundless-physics-textbook/atomic-physics-29/the-early-atom-185/the-thomson-model-685-6307/ Boundless Textbooks</ref> It described the atom as being like a plum pudding, a viscous spheroid containing solid [[electron|electrons]] inside it. It was disproven 5 years later by the [[Geiger-Marsden experiment]].
